Chapter Four
Apocalypse
Izzy stared at the screen, indicating that thousands of nukes were travelling over the world.
"We have to do something." Sam said desperately.
"But what? We cant stop a legion of nukes!" Izzy cried.
"There has to be a way!" Tai said.
"There's no way! Unless…" Izzy said, then started fiddling with his Digivice.
"It's a long shot. I can only hope it'll work." he said desperately.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hawong narrowed his eyes.
"Everyone's launched their nukes! We're doomed!" his secretary yelled, totally losing his head.
"Not yet. Those bloody kids caused this. Perhaps they can stop it as well. And if we survive this…their time will be up!" he vowed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Davis frowned.
"We need to stop him." he said.
"Well we failed with Ultimates. Reckon it's time to try the Megas?" Ken asked.
"We could try this pair first." TK suggested, indicating Angewomon and MagnaAngemon.
"Worth a try. If not, we hit them with Megas. Get to it." Davis said.
The two dedigivolved.
"Patamon mega digivolve to…Dominimon!"
"Gatomon mega digivolve to…Ophanimon!"
They turned to pursue Diaboromon, when their digivices went off.
"Guys, you need to stop Diaboromon, now! He's launched all the nukes in the world! Stop him!" Samantha urged.
"He's what?" Kari said, stunned.
"Launched all the nukes! Please stop him!" she commanded, then cut off.
"Oh crap. If they're all doomed…" Yolei said.
"Then we're the last six humans one earth." Cody finished.
"It's just become do or die." Davis said grimly, and they chased after Diaboromon.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What do we do?" Matt asked.
"Everyone has to digivolve in order to stop them, and to Mega! Shift!" MetalGreymon said.
"MetalGreymon digivolve to...WarGreymon!"
"WereGarururmon digivolve to...MetalGarurumon!"
"Garudamon digivolve to...Phoenixmon!"
"MegaKabuterimon digivolve to...HerculesKabuterimon!"
"Lillymon digivolve to...Rosemon!"
"Zudomon digivolve to...Plesiomon!"
Tai looked up anxiously as their Mega forms went flying up into the air, followed by Megadramon.
"We'll stop the nukes, but we cant stop all of them!" Phoenixmon cried as she shouldered one away from her.
"Metal Wolf Claw!" MetalGarurumon cried.
Two missiles froze solid, and as they landed smashed harmlessly into tiny pieces.
As the Digimon worked, blowing apart of crushing the nukes before they hit the ground, Izzy finished modifying his digivice.
"We better hope this works!" he cried.
He then raised to his mouth, but Tai took it off him.
"This is Tai Kamiya, leader of the Japanese Digidestined! If you're watching the internet, you'll know that Diaboromon has launched all of the world's active nuclear weapons! I'm asking all Digidestined to stop as many of the missiles as they can, before we're all annihilated!"
Tai looked at Izzy.
"I hope this worked pal, or even if our lot stop them all, we're all dead!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Across the world, Digidestined heard Tai's message. They all immediately set out to action, determined to save the world.
A dark haired boy, with evil eyes which were as black as his soul, sighed as the pathetic so called leader of the Japanese Digidestined begged for help.
"I suppose we should help. Come on Kimeramon!"
The massive Digital monstrosity, kept in the backyard, roared as Scott leapt onto his back. A nuke was bound right for them.
"Heat Viper!" he yelled, and the weapon disintegrated.
"Let's try and find some others eh buddy? I know how much you like to blow things to bits." Scott snickered, and Kimeramon flew on.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A girl called Kirlia, with hair dyed a light green colour, looked up, shocked at the incoming nukes about to obliterate her province.
"Kunemon! We have to do something!"
The little insectoid Digimon nodded in agreement.
"If I can attack them, it'll destroy them digitally, as in they'll burst into data. Threat ended." He said.
"Great, let's get to it!"
"Kunemon digivolve to...Kuwagamon!"
Kirlia leapt onto her friend as they flew upward, to the rapidly approaching nuke.
"Scissor Claw!"
The massive red pincers fastened around the missile, and with a crunch, it burst into data as prophesised.
"Great work. Now, reckon you can handle anymore?"
He grunted.
"What am I, a novice? Course I can eat more. Let's go!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Michael Washington blanched as he saw the nuke coming straight towards New York city. If it hit...
The message on the digivice had been clear.
"Betamon, we're up!"
"Betamon digivolve to...Seadramon!"
Michael sprang onto the giant serpent as he reared up to face the nuke.
"Ice Breath!"
The nuke turned to ice and smashed harmlessly against the ground.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ellen screamed as the nuke travelled to her home town.
"Oh not good!" she cried.
Her little gear like Digimon, Hagurumon, sped up beside her.
"You're not wussing out on me are you? Let's go get them!"
Ellen smiled.
"Alright, get on with it then."
"Hagurumon digivolve to... Mekanorimon!"
Ellen sprang into the cockpit, and he rocketed skyward.
"Twin Beam!"
The attack lanced out and the missile was gone a second later.
"Bingo." Ellen said happily.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sam looked up at the ever closer nuke.
"Well Lunamon, we either stop this or we go byebye." He sighed.
The bunny like Digimon smiled up at him.
"Dont worry, I'll stop it. Lunamon digivolve to...Lekismon!"
She leapt up and raised her hands.
"Moon Might Bomb!"
A glowing white black ball fired out and destroyed the nuke as it approached. Lekismon grinned down at her partner.
"Show off." Sam said, sticking his tongue out.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Anna was panicking. The others weren't present, and she was on her own in her city, the only Digidestined. It was down to her and Unimon.
"We must stop this Unimon! Diaboromon is trying to target all the Digidestined!" she cried.
Unimon pawed the ground.
"Then let us take the battle to these weapons, and then we can go after him."
She sprang onto her mount and he flew upwards, shouldering the missile in a spiral, away from the town in case they failed.
"Aerial Attack!"
The energy ball hit the nuke and it was destroyed, and Anna breathed freely. Another crisis averted.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Across the world, the Digidestined rallied to stop the nukes, and in Odaiba the others were finishing off the last of the nukes flying towards them.
"That's it, that's the last one." Megadramon sighed in exhaustion.
Rana patted his metal head.
"Well done." She said fondly.
Sora sighed from the back of Phoenixmon.
"The governments are going to be very annoyed with us." She said.
The place was quiet once again, aside from the remaining throngs of Tsumemon and Kuramon.
"Let's finish this lot off then." Joe said, and the Megas went in to attack.
"Terra Force!"
"Metal Wolf Claw!"
"Starlight Explosion!"
"Mega Electro Shocker!"
"Forbidden Temptation!"
"Sorrow Blue!"
"Dark Side Attack!"
As they pounded away at the remaining babies and in trainings, Izzy breathed a sigh of relief.
"That was far too close. But, there's been no hits anywhere. Everyone stopped them." He said thankfully.
"Great. Now, we deal with this lot, and if Davis does his job properly, we can get rid of Diaboromon and all go home." Sam said cheerfully.
Meramon nodded in agreement, and looked skyward. And emitted a squeak.
Another nuke was heading their way.
"GUYS!" he yelled, aiming a Fireball at it.
Sam and Izzy turned to it, and went pale.
"HerculesKabuterimon, help!" Izzy cried.
Mimi looked down from Rosemon's back and screamed.
"Guys, we missed a nuke!" she screamed.
Matt looked terrified.
"We wont get there in time to save them!" he said as they all sped towards them.
"I could use my big attack." Megadramon suggested.
"Dont be daft. That causes nearly as much damage as a nuke does, it'll cause more problems than it solves." Rana snapped.
Back on the ground, the three of them were looking at the approaching nuke with dread. The others wouldn't get there in time to save them.
"The others will save us." Sam said surely.
Izzy looked at her, but saw that she truly believed what she was saying.
"Sam..." he began.
"They will come!" she intoned.
There was suddenly a flash from her chest, and Meramon was surrounded by an orange-brown light.
"Meramon digivolve to...SkullMeramon!"
Meramon had transformed into the blue and silver motor bike racer like Ultimate form of SkullMeramon, who they had last seen fighting for Myotismon all those years ago.
SkullMeramon: This fiery Digimon is one hot character. His Flame Chain attack gives his enemies unbearable pain, while his Metal Fireball attack can melt anything into a puddle.
"Dont worry Sam, I'll save you! Flame Chain!"
A chain, glowing with blue flames, coiled around the missile and SkullMeramon pulled himself up with it, landing on top of the missile as it plummeted to the ground.
"Metal Fireball" he cried.
The blue ball of flame came out of his mouth, and the nuke melted beyond all recognition in an instant.
"He digivolved?" Sam asked in amazement.
"Your trust in the others allowed me to go my Ultimate form. Well done Sam." SkullMeramon said proudly
Samantha grinned.
"You lot did a number on those blasted baby forms." Izzy commented.
"Yeah, but something isn't right." Tai said in concern.
The group stood together, and wondered what Diaboromon's next trick would be.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The group pursued Diaboromon, and were hot on his many heels. They emerged into a chatroom, where he was coiled around a stream of data.
"Get him." Davis ordered grimly.
"Positron Laser!"
"Falcon Destroyer!"
"Metal Earthquake!"
"Holy Purge!"
The four attacks sped at him, but the massive spider leapt over them.
"Cable Crusher!"
One leg lanced out and crushed Osirismon against the wall, while another one wrapped around MetalAnkylomon.
"Eden's Javelin!"
"Final Excalibur!"
The two attacks freed their friends, and Diaboromon staggered backwards, furious.
"I've had enough of this. It's time for an ending." He growled, and reared backwards.
"That doesn't sound good." Ken said warily.
Hundreds of gates to the real world then opened, and a whirlwind of data came flying through them, bound for Diaboromon. The energy surrounded him, and he gave a sinister laugh.
"Take this Digidestined." He growled.
There was then a black storm around him and he laughed.
"Diaboromon digivolve to...Armageddemon!"
"Here we go again. Positron Laser!"
"Holy Purge!"
"Falcon Destroyer!"
"Metal Earthquake!"
Armageddemon leapt away from them, moving too fast for them to see.
"Hahahaha! You will not defeat me this time you Digidestined brats!" he crowed, them sprang towards the entire group.
"We're in trouble." Kari said, and TK slightly pushed her behind him.
"Destiny Destroyer!"
A ball of lethal energy crashed into the group, blowing the Digimon for six and sending them spiralling away from their partners.
"Now, it is time for all Digidestined to come to an end!" he said, and a bout of dark energy came from his body, and went through the portals.
"Now what?" Yolei asked.
"Nothing good." Ken said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Outside the internet, the black energy poured forth from millions of PCs across the world, flowing into the Kuramon and the Tsumemon. There was a bright flash, and they suddenly combined to form an army of Infermon, Diaboromon's Ultimate.
"Now what?" Joe demanded hysterically.
"We fight and hope for the best." Rana said, and they went on the offensive,
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The team facing Armageddemon looked up at what they were seeing. Thousands of Infermon were appearing all over the world, and were trouncing all the Digidestined aside from their friends back in Odaiba.
"You see? You cannot win. The end of the Digidestined is at hand!"
Cody growled.
"Look you big ugly bug, we're fed up of you trying to destroy the world! Go away and leave us all alone!" he shouted.
Armageddemon laughed.
"You have spirit little one. But I think it is time to break the spirit of all of you. Full Scale Attack!" he cried, and hundreds of missiles shot out from his body.
The storm of missiles travelled towards them. Ken exchanged a mournful glance with Yolei, then both averted their eyes regretfully. TK felt Kari grasping for his hand, and he clasped it to him.
Then the Digimon took the blow full on, and they reverted back to their normal forms.
"No!" Cody cried, rushing to Armadillomon.
Veemon grunted as Davis lifted him up.
"Are you alright pal?" he asked.
"Not really." Veemon wheezed.
"Foolish brats. Dont get in my way this time! Destiny Destroyer!"
The ball of heat flew straight at them, but the Digimon wriggled out of their partner's grasp, and they formed a barrier.
"NO!" TK cried desperately.
The ball slammed into the six Digimon, and they dropped down.
"Patamon!" TK moaned, picking up his friend.
"Gatomon, are you alright?" Kari asked urgently.
"Veemon? Talk to me!" Davis pleaded.
"Wormmon?" Ken muttered, cuddling his friend.
"Hawkmon! Please be alright!" Yolei sniffed.
"Wake up Armadillomon!" Cody urged.
The Digimon remained unresponsive.
Armageddemon roared in fury.
"I've had enough now! It is time to end this threat once and for all! Full Scale Attack!" he roared, and hundreds of missiles came streaking at them.
"We...need to fight!" Veemon said.
"What? No, you'll be killed!" Davis protested.
Veemon didn't listen however, and leapt out of his arms.
"Veemon warp digivolve to...DinoVeemon!"
Worrmon wiggled free and leapt to join his friend.
"No, don't!" Ken pleaded.
"Wormmon warp digivolve to...Mantismon!"
The others then freed themselves and rushed forward, despite the protests of the others.
"Hawkmon warp digivolve to...Valkyrimon!"
"Armadillomon warp digivolve to...Vikemon!"
"Gatomon warp digivolve to...Magnadramon!"
"Patamon warp digivolve to...Seraphimon!"
The Mega forms took the missiles in the chest, and their partners sagged a little bit as a result from the attack.
"They're too weak." Yolei said mournfully.
"Guys, come back! He's too powerful!" Cody yelled.
"No. We cannot allow him to win. If he wins, all of you are dead." Vikemon retorted, and they straightened up, ready to spring at Armageddemon.
Then, he began to laugh.
"You foolish little Digidestined. You have delayed my revenge long enough. You have put up a good fight. But now, it is time to bring the threat of the Eighteen to an end, once and for all!"
His body then glowed a bright, violent red, and he aimed his head upwards.
"Final Countdown!"
A purple ball flew from his mouth, and began to grow as it travelled, before coming to a stop above their enemy. The ball continued to grow, and he laughed.
"When that goes off, there will be nothing left of the internet at all! Goodbyee!" he said, and vanished into a tunnel.
"We're doomed." DinoVeemon said sadly.
"At least we'll go out with a bang." Seraphimon said cheerily.
They all groaned, and he sniggered, and waited for the end.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Across the world, people immediately began sending messages. If Armageddemon's bomb went off, the entire electrical world would be totally destroyed, and the loss of the internet would be the least of their worries. Billions of people, who had been watching Armageddemon trounce the team of Digidestined with horror, all sent messages, telling them that they were sure they would find a way to save the world from reverting back to the Dark Ages.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Izzy looked at the countdown timer that Armageddemon had created in horror.
"We have four minutes to save the world." He said tonelessly.
"Hey, I like that song!" Sam said excitedly.
WarGreymon looked at what was happening below him, with the vastly depleted army of Infermon.
"Um, guys! What's going on!?"
The Infermon were all glowing, and they all suddenly burst into individual bits of data.
"It's like they've all been destroyed." Phoenixmon said in wonder.
"Did we do that?" SkullMeramon asked.
Masssive rivers of digital data then appeared before them and started to gather into one massive shape.
"What's happening?" Rana asked worriedly.
Izzy realised what was happening a second before it occurred.
"It's another Armageddemon." He said simply.
There was a flash, and true enough, another Armageddemon was before them.
"Final Countdown!" he cried.
A bomb then appeared over that one, and another timer started.
"How do we stop the end of the world, when there's two ends to stop?" Tai asked weakly.
"I don't know." WarGreymon mumbled.
Evil laughter then echoed across both the internet and the world. Evil had finally triumphed.
Greetings to you!
Sorry this chapter isnt so good, but this is the filler chapter where things go slowly in the general scheme of things!
Two Armageddemons! How will we deal with that? Will the Digidestined survive this one? Or will we find out what happens if we dont listen to Madonna's song?:P
There are six Digidestined mentioned in this chapter, and I can reveal that two of them are in fact members of the Eighteen! Email me your guesses, and those that arent members of that esteemed company will still have a role to play later on!
And Meramon digivolved, and the Crest of Trust is active. Who will we find next?
Until next time, please read and review!
